That is inspiring!Very true. Basically told us to go find a better paying job if we can as we all should be doing that for our families. Said it during closing eneral session .
Right! A total joke of leadership. Gave us the green light to go interview & strongly encouraged the reps. Who in the world does that?? Heard he told DMs same thing at Jan managers mtg.That is inspiring!
Isnt it! But it is true. Maybe all reps will go look for other jobs per his advice & encouragement... sounds like many have w 100 reps posting for Gilead per another post.That is inspiring!
And believe me they areXeljanz VP Lotz tells entire division they owe it to themselves & their families to talk to other companies and get their market value.
Said he has even started returning calls from companies and listening.
Yes he did and YES we are!!!!Xeljanz VP Lotz tells entire division they owe it to themselves & their families to talk to other companies and get their market value.

Wow, I left Pfizer a few years ago. It does not surprise me that a “leader” in top management at Pfizer would say this, many were and apparently still are very arrogant. Pfizer was a premier company 20 years ago; too many people still look in the rear view mirror for their perspective. Get out if you can; there are greener pastures for those who are skilled.Yes he did and YES we are!!!!
Thank you Mr VP for allowing & supporting me in looking for a better opportunity & company.
I am sure there is a method to your mad crazy comments & more than likely it is a heads up to reps for a future downsizing. If reps leave for a better company, that is less layoffs and you can downsize by attrition.
Dont worry, most of the reps are acting on your advise. I personally know of a few dozen who posted for Biogen.
But he did, so what does that tell you about who is leading this 2.5billion brandNo leader of any company or division would say this or anything remotely this stupid to the entire division, let alone a VP.
It is careless, arrogant, and flat out stupid so I doubt he encouraged reps & managers to go out on the street and test their true market value.
No way, not even the 3 Stoogies would do that.
He is not that smart or strategic.Method to Lotz madness saying that.
It is an easy & cost effective way to downsize by attrition while avoiding paying 1wk for each year of service.
Kinda smart way to layoff and try to go from 265 to 100 reps so the reps can have docs to call on after 3hrs in the morning.
Agree 100%He is not that smart or strategic.
When you told the entire division that on stage at the NSM, that was 100% arrogance and ego. Nothing more that being cocky.
Creating attrition never enter his mind as a strategy.

No he isnt leaving the co on his own will but will be cut on next round of layoffs due to being at out of position. The new Mkt VP will assume all duties & streamline as we go into LOE.I was in the audience in Dallas in February when he said......they would look at "re-evaluating" the salary-band to ensure they were staying competitive with the marketplace and that "not everyone" would get a bump in salary.....he said That "I have been recruited by other companies"......It's a leap to infer that he was saying leave the company......
